signature 805 or 804 masaya na ko, maski nautilus pwede na rin din naman ako maselan e hehehe parang may pambili no? sir ricky baket d ka pa mag-B&W? bagay siguro cherry 804S sa room mo

[ricky]

Ayan pare ang tanong na madalas ko madinig  Honestly before i bought these jbls nag audition talaga ako ng maige,I have 2 other set-ups pa din kasi na JBL din kaya sabi ko i should try to get a new brand. But when i auditioned other brands including the B&Ws both 600 and 700 models(as suggested by my friend bote) Hindi na-satisfy yung hinahanap ko May lahi yata akong canine eh kaya i prefer my speakers to be on the high-frequency side(makalansing) which unfortunately yung B&Ws hindi ganon. bilugan ang dating ng tunog ng B&W sa akin(ears ko ang MAY fault),kulang sa tining. Dont get me wrong ha all praises ako sa B&Ws ;)kaya lang im the guy who would not buy something that i would not be contented with dapat gusto ko talaga bago ako mag bayad so after a long and tedious audition,sa JBL pa din yung bagsak ko Which my friend bote really grilled me for buying pero after nya i-calibrate naconvince din sya why i chose this model, kAsi na compare nya sa b&w nya na mas ok pala for movies ito kasi labas talaga yung HFs But its just me siguro kasi bihira dito sa site natin yung naka JBL,pang oldie/rockers kasi yung brand ha ha ha. Kaya if ever na mag set-up ulit ako malamang yung JBL STUDIO L series naman buy ko and another thing sobra ang tibay ng jbls, yung una ko set (paired with onkyo 525) kung gamitin akala mo nasa disco pero ni minsan hindi nag-clip yung other pair naman (paired with yamaha 800) ginagamit sa videoke,up to now ok pa din kahit pangit boses nung gumagamit sensya na ang haba ng answer ko,ikaw kasi eh So guys for pure HT applications try to audition the JBLs,80-90% of quality cinemas uses them

[et414]

i know what you mean to each his own pare  that's right well known naman ang jbl for great quality sounds e. afaik the academy of tv arts and sciences, and mann's chinese theater use jbl! locally napansin ko powerplant ata uses jbl din kanya kanyang taste lang naman e. i personally prefer the b&w sound, yung mataba ang tunog( i think audiophiles describe it as "warm")

ok pala sa inyo a! may sinehan na, may disco at KTV pa! no need to go out of the house!

ok lang mahaba answer i like hearing other people's experiences there are'nt many people into this hobby, dito lang sa forum ako nakakapagkwentuhan about ht most people don't understand this hobby. most people i know are into car audio and setup w/c i have very little interest in iisa lang nga kilala ko here in our town who is into home theater e

[dieselsy]

sir go and demo it its awesome tlaga,medyo maliit lng nga yung room.b&w and classe are under 1 company na,for me perfect match cla.im nt a fun of b&w din kc i want detaild sounding spker o open mid and hi*s pero wen i heard the classe and b&w combo sa showroom i was impressed.go for it sir  .to experience it lng
sori sir im nt familiar w the prc eh,pero b4 and matagal na the smallest nautilus series wc is 805 eh 100t plus na.mg 3 to 4 yrs ago.
ay ! meron sa audio amplified 804 0 803 na for standing spkr rosewood ata o cherry ganda at kinis pa 150 to 180 ata neg pa,jan 06 ko nakita .try mo kung dun pa.good luck

[et414]

no need to call me sir, kayo dapat ang sinesir ko

try ko tomorrow if i have time hindi kasi ako taga-manila e, isa lang tayong hamak na promdi nkakatakot kasi magaudition ng ganun baka hindi ako makatulog hehehe mahirap na tamaan ng sars lalo na pag walang pambili :'(

it will take me years of hard work and saving up to be able to afford the 800 series but for ht happy na ko sa 600series. in the future malamang 600series lang din siguro bibilhin ko, by that time malamang series 4 na hahaha

bossing ET414,

great set up talaga. ganda ng mga gears. halos ganyan din kasi target ko.
Rotel Amp with the 604's.

oo nga pala bossing, musta ung Onkyo-Rotel combo? how's the sound? compatible ba ang sonic diff nila?baka ganyan din kasi kahinatnatan ko dahil ang mahal pa ng RSP 1068 eh. currently Pioneer pa AVR ko and baka nga mapunta me sa ganyang route.
baka kc pangit ang kahinatnatan ng Pioneer-Rotel combe eh.   

Still more power and CHEERS sayo!
 
 

[et414]

ok naman ang onkyo-rotel, but i can't really compare it w/ other combos kasi eto pa lang naririnig ko in my setup. mahirap magcomment pag narinig ko lang sa demo kasi baka iba na tumunog sa house ko.

the sound is warm imo. adding the amp was a very good investment for me. dati kasi mejo nagiging compressed yung tunog when i play at high levels. ngayon hindi na nagulat talaga ako when i first tried it out. When I played Gladiator(my fave movie) w/c i've seen a dozen times, napawow ako the soundtrack really came alive! nagimprove din yung surrounds ko! my 601's are now spitting out things iv'e never noticed before  iba talaga power rating ng rotel

the truth is i wasn't expecting too much. may nagsabi kasi sakin na walang magiging difference if i just use the onkyo as prepro. well that wasn't the case for me i'm totally happy w/ my purchase

if you can swing it, try borrowing a power amp. iba talaga pag sa bahay mo e. your familiar w/ the sound of your system. good luck to you!

[Munskie]

pareho tayo experience, having AVR's as pre/pros....

after experimenting with AVRs as pre/pros, the next logical upgrade would be hdmi equipped (future proofing) dedicated pre/pros.  That would be taking up a notch in improvements sonically, I believe.  hmmmm, but that would cost a finger or two for me now, hehehehe.

[jay2]

sir , great gears and a cozy place.  congrats

yeah tsaka na din ako bibili ng prepro. satisfied na ko w/ the onkyo for now gusto ko sana bumili ng HD-A1 kaso if you guys have the WAF ako naman PAF(parent acceptance factor) hehehe Tsaka na lang daw ako bumili pag may p***ted discs na 

sir , great gears and a cozy place. congrats
 

salamat bro

salamat bro

you know what, i think it would take a while before they break the code with those HD disc.  The HD-a1 in US go as low as 370 dollars na. if ever it goes the range of 300 I might find a way to have it shipped here than pay the P35k that is sold locally. and I know it will soon reach that number coz of the news of european models coming out.  and orig discs arent that expensive, on the average, $20-25 a pop, thats the price of most 2 disc SE DVDs...

[et414]

hay temptation temptation! i've got an uncle pa naman coming home from the states this month

[Munskie]

padala ka na!!!    if only I have a relative coming home from US, papadala rin ako...

[et414]

dinedemonyoi ako! hahaha kelangan ko ng konting self control hehe i just bought my amp a couple of weeks ago;D konting pacing muna baka masabon na ko dito kelangan siguro makita muna ng dad ko difference ng dvd and hd-dvd para mapawow sya, who knows he might buy it himself hehe

400 bucks isn't too bad but i bought the oppo about 6months ago kaya baka sabihin kakabili ko lang, bili na naman ng bago anyway i'm not really in a hurry coz wala pa masyadong titles and sa december ko pa talaga plano bumili(xmas gift to my self!).
 

[Munskie]

hmmm, the box is pretty huge.....im sure napakamahal ng shipping nito from US, if padala sa relative, you run the risk of getting it taxed, heavily by customs people



it could have been an easy decision kung medyu bumaba yung local prices....swipe na, then convert na lang paylite para di mabigat, hahahaha....

[et414]

oh i just posted at the hd-a1 thread. sabi ko mukang kasya naman sa balikbayan box

[Munskie]

yup, i think so....padulas na lang cguro sa mga customs.....if only I have relatives who would be kind enough to take that huge space sa balikbayan box.... nagbaba na kasi sa amazon eh, $400

[et414]

my only experience of being taxed by customs is when me and my friends came from singapore a couple of years ago. naguwi kasi yung friend ko ng osim foot and leg massager. its in a huge box(about 2x the size of the a1) and costs about the same. he ended up paying about P1500 in customs and duties w/c i think isn't too bad. d ko lang nga alam kung pano "computation" nya pero may receipt naman

hintayin na lang natin maging available sa hongkong! mura lang naman sa tiger e hehehe plus d pa strict sa clark

[Zitr0]

ET414 , oo nga pala i forgot to ask din kung ok ba ung 1075 mo sa 604?
most fo the folks out here goes for the 1080 if you have the 604, kukulangin daw kc ung 1075.

but for you as personal experience, suave na ba o kulang talaga?

[et414]

you post @ htguide right? nagtanong din ako dun before and most people recommended the 1075. they said it could drive anything up to entry level 800 series and their probably right hindi ka na mabibitin sa sa 1075 especially if you use a sub pare.

yung 1080 kasi they recommend it for 2channel listening or as an upgrade from a 5.1 to a 7.1 channel system

[et414]

congrats ET....those 604s are huge!!! great set-up

last saturday ko lang nakita yung 603 and you're right the 604 is a lot bigger!   

[et414]

wow cool.sir if you want to demo a all classe and b&w set like wat you post go to b&w showroom look for sir peter..the classe av,dvd and amp set 1M plus ata but it really sounds AWESOME.ganda rin ng demo rm nila.check it out.
b&w showrm at west ave q.c.

i went to the showroom last saturday but i did'nt have time to audition it that center channel looked HUGE! nagtanong na lang ako ng price. ang layo ng price difference ng older nautilus sa signature/diamond series! over 2x higher yung new series!

Thanks ET414, and your right, nag popost talaga me sa htguide!  And that was b4 i found the family in here!
Thanks for the info bro, inaanalyze ko kc magiging budget ko, as far as im concerened target ko talaga ung 604s3 dahil sa gwapong LOOK's, kso still have to evaluate due to budget limitations. for now looking forward on the amp, bnew sub and maybe a PJ! Sabi rin kc nga ni bossing MATz and Munskie ganon nga ang maging upgrade path ko!

Tnx and more power to you! OO  nga pala, pag nagawa mo ung 800 series + Classe combo parinig ha!

[et414]

hwag ka na mag 604 602 all around ka na e use the money on a sub na lang. use your budget for the 604 on an svs sub na lang i hear they rock! tapos ako naman magpapainvite sa setup mo hehe

sa panaginip ko na lang yung 800+classe hahaha ang gwapo sana maski nautilus series lang kaso d lang speakers papalitan mo pati amp pa d na kaya ng powers ko yun :'(

[Munskie]

last saturday ko lang nakita yung 603 and you're right the 604 is a lot bigger!   

hahaha, told you kaya it was my desire din.  Tipong sa tingin pa lang.."YAN ANG SPEAKER!!" but of course, room size played a big factor why I chose 603 instead.

[Zitr0]

Naku, SVS subs ba kamo pare, patay siguro me sa tax nun! kung d me nagkakamali, $1-1.5k nila na subs e may tax yata ng mga P10K pag nand2 n. and baka tumaas pa bro!

Kayo lang siguro nila Munskie,Matz, dieselsy ang makaka aford nun! hehehe!

Bahala na, pro kung makakahanap me ng magandang shipping payments scheme pwede siguro? hmmm!
shipping payments scheme, meron ba nito?

and invitation ba, sure pro pag nagawa ko na yung target setup ko para naman di me nakakahiya, kahit konti manlang nung looks/porma ng setup ng kay bossing Munskie .

Sagot ko na EMPI! or beer ciguro! parang ang gulo! hehehe!

[Munskie]

Sagot ko na EMPI! or beer ciguro! parang ang gulo! hehehe!
